South Sudanese army commits atrocities in Wau : HRW

October 24, 2018 (JUBA) – South Sudanese army killed and committed atrocities against civilians in the south and west of Wau from June to August despite the signing of the security arrangements, said Human Right Watch on Wednesday.

The right group was told by eyewitnesses that the government forces in Wau State attacked and shot civilians, burned, destroyed or looted homes, a church and two health centres. The attacks which started on 12 June took place in the rebel-held Wad Alel and areas south and southwest of Wau town.

“There may be a new peace deal in South Sudan, but government forces are committing new abuses against civilians,” said Jehanne Henry, associate Africa director at Human Rights Watch.

“This is the latest chapter in a long history of violence and impunity that has uprooted and traumatized hundreds of thousands of people in this part of the country,” she further said.

According to the report, the South Sudanese army meant to retake several areas before the signing of the final peace agreement. However, the attacks continued after the signing of the revitalized pact until September after a short break by the end of August.

Human Rights Watch was not able to provide the civilian causalities from the attacks but based on the witnesses collected in June and July the group estimated at least eight were killed.

The group said it conducted 110 interviews between September 5 and 12 in Wau, including with 86 residents and people who fled recent fighting in areas outside Wau.

President Salva Kiir need to be careful from those traumatized generals, killing civilians has become their habits, sorry!!!

Midit Mitot,
If South Sudanese are not going to open their damn naive eyes and continue to dwell and rely on free UN handouts for their lifestyles, then the NGOs would always make up their stories about South Sudan & the South Sudanese purposely to go and ask for more funding and to be relevant in South Sudan indefinitely. Just like their usual lies they often make up about atrocities committed>>

in Mayendit, Leer, Yei and other areas last year and this year. And when these NGOs made stories and ask to support their stories with concrete evidence. They wouldn’t bring any. These made stories often go and pop up in New York or Geneva. And those who collected those data are always non-existent. The methods they used to arrive at those data is also non-existent. But somehow, there are some>>>>

of their gullible South Sudanese & others who just take these stories at face value. When in fact, many of the people who create these are just some desperadoes who just want to make a living out of desperate people & naive South Sudanese. I am not trying to project that no crime were created against some innocent South Sudanese civilians. But the some scrupulous NGOS with their sinister interests

over our country & our people. Honestly speaking, there has never ever been a clean war on earth. The only way to avoid civilians atrocities is to ’avoid the war occurring’ in the first place. This is just a simple truth. If South Sudanese were to be more informed to find out what other crimes committed by the countries like the US, the UK, the gulf Arab states allies of Saudi Arabia & Israel>>>

against innocent civilians in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries. and those atrocities committed by the US, the UK, the gulf Arab states allies of Saudi Arabia & Israel is often termed as "collateral damage". Many South Sudanese people do not know what is called the ’politics of the NGOs’. A country of Malawi is the glaring example: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00mmn27

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00m6f0z
Many NGOs are so powerful in Malawi than even the elected government of Malawi. Many of those creepy and sleazy NGOs are already in South Sudan. South Sudan is their new ’El Dorado or NGOs gold mind’ fellows. One of my friend once wondered in 2009 as to why all the well educated South Sudanese she kned like to start NGOs than starting businesses?>>>

I responded that may be the NGOs pay more in US dollars than businesses. I was even naive myself. Many South Sudanese may agree with me that when the government of Mr. Salva Kiir wanted to rein in the NGOs’ powers a few years ago. The US, the UK, France, their UN and sleazy NGOs went berserk. And until Mr. Salva Kiir myopic government back down----that is what the NGOs often do with Malawian govt>

The US, the UK, France and other countries often use their ’UN, their humanitarian aid, donations, peacekeeping forces, human rights’ as their 21st century neo-colonialism intrigue to slickly occupy other people’s countries----mostly foolish African countries with resources like our country. Some of us who are well aware the US, the UK, France, their UN, their sleazy NGOs business and some>>>

of their shifty allies in between dirty games were against the renewal of the then United Nations mission in Sudan (UNIMIS) to United nations mission in South Sudan (UNIMISS) because there was no need for it. But our myopic elders rebuked us that we were just "little boys with some attitudes towards white people" And before long, the US, the UK, their UN, their sleazy NGOs and others started>>>

their ’dirty project’ here in my home state of Jonglei with our David Yau Yau, armed David Yau Yau and innocent Murles to terrorize the the innocent Jonglei civilians. And when Mr. David Yau Yau and his gangs were to about to tackled head on, the UN, the US, the UK & their UNIMISS & their sleazy NGOs ’screamed at the top of their evil lungs’ that the "murles were being targeted"

simply because they were Murles. And when the Murles steal other people’s babies & cattle, the US, the UK, their UNIMISS & some of their creepy allies in between kept quiet. The same thing has been replicated by the US, the UK, their UN, their UNIMISS & some of their sleazy allies in between in Yei, Mayendit, Leer, Juba, Malakal and other areas>>>

When you tell some of our lowly informed South Sudanese fools that their evil white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called israelis), their UN, their sleazy NGOs and some of their creepy allies in between are obsess with our country & our people. And the evils are going to be bombed pretty badly out of our country & over our people once and for all, reasons, pure HATED & RACISM>>>

Fellows, South Sudan is not part of the so-called ANGLO-AMERICA empire, never has and will never ever be. The evil white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called israelis), their cloned arabs of North Sudan, their gulf Arab states financiers & some of their creepy allies in between have step on the wrong people’s feet----us, the Dinkas/Momyjiengs of the Sudan>>>

We have a lot cattle here in South Sudan than in Uganda, Kenya, some parts of Abesh (so-called ethiopia) and their cloned so-called arabs North Sudan. But the evils keep propagating their usual lies after lies South Sudanese people dying of hunger. The evils love affair with our country & our people has gone too far, who would want these vermins in their backyard fellows? Not even one>>>>

We keep informing some of lowly informed South Sudanese fools that they playing games, but as we far as we are concerned, not even a single Dinkas/Monyjiengs land or country would be occupied by these evil white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called israelis), their cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, their gulf Arabs of Arabia or their UN or NGOs>>>

like white the evils have done in our Gambella region, central Kenya of Laikipia, Nanyuki, Malawi, some of psrts of Zambia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa or Namibia. Or their Chinese Hong Kong, Macau and their colonists in South America, Australia, New Zealand, US & Canada. The owners are here fellows. My fellows South Sudanese fulls. I have been posting this warning>>>

that your evil juus (so-called israelis) think, that the UN, NEW WORLD ORDER Government *head quartered in JERUSALEM* and "would span from Eupharate Rivers, Tigris Rivers and right to up our Nilotic valleys & plains" And that this so-called UN, NEW WORLD ORDER Government "would be hailed in, by the most powerful sovereigns" of the US, the UK, France, their attack dog (so-called israel)>>>

Northern Nigeria and Northern Mali. But no one always speak about these countries’s small issues problems, but South Sudan’s small internal issues are what these vermins are fixated upon. But the evils have step on wrong people’s feet----us, the Dinkas/Monyjinegs of the Sudan. Are not parts of the so-called ANGLO-AMERICA empire, I repeat again, never ever has and will never ever be>>>

reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Fellows, I am the one who will help bomb the Eastern Jerusalem and give it to it rightful owners----Arabs of Palestinians. With the evil juus (so-called israelis) in Kenya, South Africa or Adis Ababa and Jerusalem it self. We are going to kill them, simple and plain. Reasons, pure HATRED & RACISM. Some South Sudanese low lifes don’t know why the criminals who>>>>

our low lives called our people their (US national security and foreign policy interest) by then greatest, charlatan of earth, Mr. Barack Obama and his then bunch of his evil juus (so-called israelis) who controlled their US state department. Fellows, watch this space. The owners are here. We have informed the evils to get the hell out of our country before we put our hands on them>>>

Fellows, ’we are going to bomb the mighty US, the UK, their evil juus (so-called israelis), their sleazy NGOs, gulf Arab states and some of their creepy allies in between’ with three fronts, ’first, military; second finance and third; HATRED & RACISM’ fellows, who says we want these vermins in our country fellows, who really says? Not even one. Many lowly criminals from the U7S, the UK>>>

Has anyone ever read Pakuai’s comments to the end? Men! There is nothing like an award for the most comment here. Sometimes I feel like you only copy the same message and keep pasting it every where. Dude, you need to relax and be brief and for heaven’s sake link your damn comments to the story. 😤
